Lagos State Government has announced the suspension on the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers Union, NURTW from motor parks with immediate effect following the intractable crisis that has rocked it in recent times.

Lagos Sacks NURTW, Takes Over Parks, Garages Operations

Recall that the Lagos NURTW chapter, led by Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called “MC Oluomo” on Thursday, broke away from the National body of the union when the latter suspended Oluomo over alleged misconduct, insubordination, and inciting members of the state chapter against the apex body.

The development followed an earlier query sent to the NURTW boss in Lagos over alleged meddlesomeness in union matters, as well as a protest staged by Mc Oluomo supporters during which they accused the union at the national level of unnecessarily interfering in state affairs.

The national body, therefore, directed MC Oluomo to immediately hand over the mantle of leadership to his deputy chairman and release all property belonging to the transport body in his possession to State Secretary, in a bid to avoid any leadership vacuum in the state.

Oluomo, in a statement released afterwards, urged Lagos State Government to take over the running of the affairs of the Union with the Constitution of a Park Management Committee for Motor Garages and parks in the state, in order to ensure peace and tranquillity, pending the determination of the matter in the interest of the good people of Lagos State.
